U2 Announces Long-Awaited ‘Songs of Experience’ Album and Tour Details

After nearly a year of waiting, fans are finally getting the complete details on U2's Songs of Experience, which is confirmed for a Dec. 1 release, with a tour to follow beginning in May of 2018.

In addition, the band has released a third song from the album, "Get Out Of Your Own Way." You can see the full Songs of Experience track listing below, including bonus tracks that will appear on the deluxe edition.

The band will kick off their U2 eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour on May 2 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 15 dates have been announced, concluding June 29 in Newark, New Jersey. You can get full information on the various ways to purchase tickets on the band's official site.

Details of the album match the previously reported rumors. The record is a companion to 2014's Songs of Innocence. It was close to completion prior to America's most recent Presidential election, but the band chose to pause work on it while focusing on their 30th anniversary Joshua Tree tour and reconsidering the ramifications of the vote. It was also impacted by an unspecified health scare for Bono, the band recently said.

The release date coincides with World AIDS Day, in conjunction with Product RED, an organization co-founded by Bono that raises funds and awareness to help eliminate AIDS in African countries.
